These companies were queried about (a) hiring in the first 3 months of the year and (b) hiring intentions over the next 3 months.
The study reveals creation of 1,53,564 jobs during Jan - March 2010 and 3,47,463 jobs are getting created in the period of April – June 2010.

The recovery from economic crisis has further strengthened the momentum of the Healthcare sector which has reported the greatest employment generation of 52,752 new jobs in Q1, followed by Hospitality with 21,500 in the same period. Education, Training & Consultancy sector added 16, 200 new jobs in Q1.
Projection for Q2 is that healthcare sectcor again will add the largest number of new jobs – 96248. Real estate and construction sector is estimated to add 52115, the 2nd highest job creator in the economy. This will be closely followed by Hospitality sector that is estimated to create 49000 jobs. IT and ITES sectcor is estimated to add 34000 new jobs; Media and entertainment sector to add 28700 jobs; Education, Training and Consultancy to add 23200 jobs.

The Ma Foi Randstad Employment Survey (MEtS) is a study on Indian employment trends and opportunities conducted by Ma Foi Randstad.
Started in November 2004, till 2008, MEtS was conducted once in a year. Considering the fact that we are witnessing significant shifts in
employment trends within a year’s time, the employment survey will now be conducted every quarter. This will enable capturing changes in
employment scenario in India from one quarter to another. The prime objective of this employment survey is to understand the employment
trends in the organized sector on a quarterly basis. The present survey captures the employment situation in the organized sector for the quarter
January to March 2010 and the likely scenario for the next quarter, i.e., April to June 2010. The study is based on the sample survey conducted
for about 650 companies across different sectors of the economy. The feedback was gathered from the top HR personnel or top management
of the companies who could share the current and the likely scenario regarding employment related issues. The major parameter captured in
the survey is change in hiring pattern or employee numbers.
The report is divided in four sections. The first section (Section A) provides the background as well as an overall view of the Indian Economy.
This is followed by Section B, which discusses about the data and methodological aspects of the study. Section C presents a picture of the
changing pattern of the employment for different sectors of the economy. This section also provides a snapshot of how the scenario is changing
in selected cities. The final section (Section D) concludes the study highlighting key issues.

The study has used both primary and secondary data to
arrive at different estimates. Secondary data from various
sources have been used. Historical data on the
methodology
manufacturing sector has been culled from various rounds
of the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) and publications of
the Central Statistical Organization (CSO). Apart from
these sources, the other sources used for the study are
various surveys of the National Sample Survey Organization
(NSSO) Labour Statistics of India, Statistical outline of India.
The above sources have the advantage of almost universal
coverage of the organized sector within their specific
domains. However, data from most of these secondary
sources are not up-to-date. Therefore the estimation
procedure takes care of this problem through using up-to-
date figures on sectoral GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and
Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
Once estimates of base sectoral employment were
obtained, the data captured through primary survey of 650
firms across sectors and selected important cities were
used to arrive at estimates on different parameters. The
primary data has been used mostly estimate parameters for
the first and second quarter of the year 2010.

expectation of entry of new players as well as the boost in the economy
